MOT PASSED!!

BIG ASS TITTIES!!

MOT looming.

Went over TC's tonight so he could weld up the holes in my exhausts. It was just a bodge job so didnt need to be pretty (not saying your welds aint pretty mate!). Water gets in behind these mounting brackets and rots the fook out of it.

On a side note the pillion pegs on the back of the XS are starting to grow on me, considering using these pegs for the chop. Snazzy eh?

Anyways the faulty choke is making cold starting a bit tricky but once its going it runs well.

Fingers crossed for MOT tomorrow!!

Bandit Bargin!!

Went to Newark Autojumble today, it pissed it down the whole time and there wasn't a lot to see, but it was worth going just for the bargin of the day. I bought a job lot of bandit parts including a complete cylinder head with bores, pistons, valves, everything. All for the fantastic price of £20!!

 

The bloke didn't know the history of it, but looks like everything is in pretty good nick - better than mine anyways!! There's even a clutch basket and an engine cover. Stuff that's worth over 20 quid on ebay by itself.  I didn't even try haggling - its a steal at that price.

Bores and valves etc all look pretty good. So ill probably give it some of my magic Dremel lovin' and just slap it on my engine with some new gaskets...hopefully sort out my compression problems..and thereby my running failures!!

Surely it can't be THAT easy....
